Rising Starlet: Ava Brunini


 alt=  alt=

Rest assured that on the independent scene, there’s a bevy of up and comers such as the stunning AVA BRUNINI who exudes such an enticing persona. She stars in the newest slasher called “Into The Woods” which is survival horror set in the outskirts of LA and chances are AVA may just be the Final Girl! A natural at projecting the captivating facets required, she’s a dream girl in our eyes. It’s also great to see her plying her trade in interesting genres such as those of the terror persuasion.

In the sci-fi horror flick “Solid State”, AVA rubs shoulders with esteemed Scream Queens Debbie Rochon and Suzi Lorraine. There’s zombies and mayhem as an American Rock Band encounters a meteor which is the source of chaos in this tongue-in-cheek satire. AVA’s character Cynthia is a cross between a saucy cowgirl and hippie chick, pulling off the look with consummate ease. In fact, she’s been lauded as being notably beautiful onscreen by Miss Suzi Lorraine herself and we couldn’t agree more. AVA also into the thick of the action and who doesn’t want to see a very hot girls with huge guns shooting them zombies! Check out the cool video (above) of both AVA and DEBBIE in a first-person-shooter sequence…:) AVA could herself be heading towards fame as a blossoming Scream Queen and we’ll be there to watch it happen.

Latin Vixen: Yvette Yates


 alt=  alt=

Brainy, beautiful and unquestionably stunning, YVETTE YATES is adept at steaming up the screen as she is beguiling us off it. The accolades also keep coming for this luscious Hispanic actress who has firmly entrenched herself into the hearts of viewers. From a string of high profile roles to being called hotter than Megan Fox by the man on the street, YVETTE is en route to a period of sustained fame. She will be starring in the upcoming revenge thriller “In The Blood” alongside mixed martial artist Gina Carano and Danny Trejo as well as in the drama “Free Ride” with Anna Paquin. But before that, she is making a splash in two new horror features which has some of the sexiest women ever assembled. In “Sorority Party Massacre”, Yvette takes on the persona of ballbuster Sloan who is the dominatrix among the 5 girls competing in a competition to win a grant. There’s also the foxy Marissa Skell and Eve Mauro, both of whom have already made their presence felt in varying forms of media and on my blog. Certainly, YVETTE will do likewise and remind everyone of her hypnotic allure.

Next up is “The Red House” where in this one, psychological horror is more apparent as a young woman invites her friends to her inherited home only to encounter madness and a sadistic murderer. Expectedly the red in the movie’s title refers to the copious amount of blood that will be shed and this is another thrilling flick that has YVETTE in captivating mode. It’s endearing to know she also advocates the importance of education within the craft of acting, imploring those around her to learn as much as they can. Her moment in the spotlight is now and she could soon be the IT Girl of her generation.

Indie Princess: Lexi Giovagnoli


 alt=  alt=

If ever there was an upcoming starlet to take note of, LEXI GIOVAGNOLI would definitely be one to evoke admirable glances from viewers. She has a lovable appeal and seeing how she was ever so nice to provide me with some behind the scenes news, here’s me giving her a shout-out! “Bloody Homecoming” is one of her intriguing films in what is billed as “My Bloody Valentines” meets “Prom Night”. Let’s hope LEXI’s the Final Girl in this slasher as she’s adorable and deserves to make it to the film’s end. The other big project she’s a big part of is the Campfire horror “Varsity Blood” as she’s cast alongside horror icon Debbie Rochon (who plays her mother), appearing as Hannah Wallace who together with her fellow cheerleaders are targeted by a maniac wielding a lethal fighting ax and a bow and arrow. She just wrapped “Varsity Blood” although the director and producers are mulling over a title change because there are interested distributors. What’s amazing about LEXI is that she’s juggling her film schedule and school which is clearly tough. Speaking from my own experience, you almost feel swamped and yet you soldier on so it’s highly respectable what LEXI is doing.

She has also delved into comedy with a little bit of magic called “3 Times A Charm” and will be in the drama “1 Chance 2 Dance”. In the latter she recalls one of her favorite bloopers: In the movie there is a cafeteria scene involving Gabby (her character) and her two new friends Dana and Jude. They’re giving Gabby the lowdown on the “Neapolitans”. Anyway during this scene, Teresa (who plays Jude) is explaining the girls’ background in a mini monologue and she was getting it perfect every time, per usual. When the girls had quite a few wonderful takes the director Adam, decided that the word slut might be too much for our PG rating, so he asked Teresa to say poop instead for one take. The next take started like all of the others, but when Teresa got to her script change, she started laughing hysterically. Well hearing Teresa, a comedian in her own right, was cracking up, LEXI couldn’t help but do the same. It took them about 20-30 minutes to be able to stop laughing. Every time they would calm down and start again, Teresa would break at the same spot.

She may be living the life as a student actress yet LEXI is getting a number of leading roles. This cherubic beauty has already made her mark in independent films which could propel her to even bigger roles in the future.

Just heard Nicole Travolta has been nominated for Best Actress at ShockFest 2012 thanks to her riveting performance in “Orange County Hill Killers”. Certainly she’s in illustrious company alongside favorites Devanny Pinn and others who are also being featured right here. Nicole has to be doing something right since there’s growing recognition for her various appearances onscreen. She may be the niece of luminary John Travolta but this sweet brunette has made her own mark in the industry and has always been so down-to-earth. Spread the love for her as she’s a beguiling face everyone will have a soft spot for…:)


Hannah Levien in “Children Of Sorrow”

Having seen how Elizabeth Olsen wowed audiences in “Martha Marcy May Marlene”, it won’t be a surprise if Hannah Levien does likewise in another psychological drama about the influence of cults on people in “Children Of Sorrow”. As Ellen a woman who searches for answers after the disappearance of her sister, she delves headlong into what will become a dark journey to seek the truth. From the engrossing trailer, she’s channels a myriad of emotions which is pretty amazing. I’m a huge supporter of Australian talents and Hannah is proving her worth ever since her emergence in the US Market.


Jillian Murray and Jules Hartley in “Visible Scars”
 alt=  alt=

I’ve had the distinct pleasure of meeting one while the other I hope to meet someday. Jules Hartley who previously was a scene stealer in the HBO TV Series “Femme Fatales” has a supporting role in “Visible Scars”. I can say I was lucky to have met her on her stopover in Singapore during her trip across the globe and in person she’s every bit as captivating as she is on film. With Jillian Murray you know what you’re getting for she is a certified Sex Bomb. The leading lady of “Visible Scars” is a nominee for Sexiest Shockfest Sweetheart and she’s absolutely stunning. (I think we all remember her racy ways in the Wild Things: Foursome!)


Emily Spalding in “The One That Got Away”
 alt=

Some actresses are so photogenic, they command attention from the get go and Emily Spalding is one such talent. Be it commercials or independent features, her looks will enthrall viewers without fail. What will fascinate further is her drive and ambition to make it big in an increasingly competitive entertainment biz. “The One That Got Away”, a quirky short about a serial killer who faces a conundrum when his prisoner escapes should be the platform for Emily to gain prominence. Not only is Emily immensely beautiful, the interesting roles Emily has essayed will lead to a devoted fanbase.


Jen Nikolaus in “Nowhere Road”
 alt=

Jen Nikolaus is the hazel-eyed hottie with delectable curves who is making a name for herself in a series of Horror features. Don’t you adore actresses who can be cute and seductive at the same time, showcasing those very facets in the thrilling short “Nowhere Road” which re-invents the often seen slasher genre. Just when you thought things were straight-forward, Jen produces a twist in her role as the seemingly innocent Krin. In fact, her previous features such as “Caesar and Otto’s Summer Camp Massacre” as well “The Victorville Massacre” has highlighted how we can’t get enough of her mesmerizing personality.

Sizzling Cutie: Amber Connor


 alt=  alt=

Her ability to move from sweetheart to tempting and back again is what will draw viewers to embrace AMBER CONNOR. The hot pics of her (above) would testify to that in a hurry! With the world premiere of “Bunyan” happening at Shockfest 2012 on November 17th, it’s an event not to be missed seeing how AMBER is the leading lady or should I presume the Final Girl! Certainly no one wants to be at the end of the huge-ass Ax of the urban legend lumberjack Paul Bunyan but that’s what will befall a group of delinquents at boot camp. Amber plays the daughter of a local sheriff who has some skeletons in her closet. Will she be on a collision course with the behemoth Bunyan? All you have to do is get those tickets to watch the carnage unfold. I like so many secretly want Amber’s character CB to survive (at least she’s facing one creature rather than thousands like Brad Pitt in the World War Z trailer! What the Hell!)

At the AMBER CONNOR OFFICIAL SITE, you’ll also discover her work as a voiceover artist, having done animated commercial work. In fact, she recently voiced for a great project called “The Guardians Tale”. Her voice does have a cute timbre to it which is so desirable for a variety of commercials. AMBER can be regarded as the ‘All-American Girl’ and she can only get even more fascinating. I’m honored that she is looking forward to getting to know more about me and as an actress buff, I would reciprocate the love right back to her. So should you…:)

Sizzling Cutie: Rebekah Graf


 alt=  alt=

With the advent of the Twin Cities Film Festival comes a bevy of stunning faces and the temptingly captivating REBEKAH GRAF is bound to have admirers in tow. She’s been described as an exceedingly hot female lead in the motorcross drama “Bro’“, a take on the sinful pleasures one experiences after being introduced to the world of women, drugs, and motorcycles. As the ravishing Stephanie, she does lead the film’s protagonist Johnny somewhat astray by introducing him to the immoral side of moto-x riding. Already an actress recently remarked how I have the know how to make a girl feel good which is a huge compliment and I’m definitely going the distance in doing so. With REBEKAH having found my blog, pointing out how completely adorable it is and that she would love to be featured, there’s enough reason to shine the spotlight on her via this feature.

REBEKAH did appear in the music video “Almost” by pop punk band Mest and her other role of note was as a High School hottie in the slasher “Savage County”. Lavishing praise on her comes easily when one notices just how attractive she can be. She may be at a relatively early stage in her career yet you can feel she can grow into a popular actress in time. “Bro’” screens this Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 9:30pm so remember to watch her impress audiences.

Rising Starlet: Florence Hartigan


 alt=  alt=

Hailing from New Zealand, FLORENCE HARTIGAN has a magical cuteness as well as voice to incite adoration. While the DVD for “Entrance” has yet to reach the shores of many countries, Florence together with leading lady Suziey Block (which i featured before) are the eye-catching duo in the indie slasher. Unconventionality breeds avid interest in this modern times and I’ve always gravitated to the uniqueness that talents such as FLORENCE can exhibit. Certainly as a vocalist, she’s enthralls with her folksy sound over poetic grooves that manages to tell a story. In terms of features, FLORENCE has a cherubic appeal most of us will find rather fascinating. She has such a gentle persona and has been ever so nice to me on Facebook…:)

For the lucky people in New York City, this adorable brunette is performing at Hotel Cafe on May 14th. It’s the chance to watch a singer who has been compared to Angie Hart from Aussie group Frente seeing how FLORENCE has delicate vocals on such a melodic plane. Watch her music video “One Too Many Mornings” (above) for it has a soothing effect for the soul with its stripped down intimacy. Utilizing a common Kiwi praise, FLORENCE is indeed sweet-as, a term New Zealanders often say when they mean a person is “cool” or “awesome”! Hope she loves it!

Digital Vixen: Kelli Mandruk


 alt=  alt=

With the YouTube videos where she’s so often been the center of attention reaching astounding views in the millions, KELLI MANDRUK is surely an online goddess. Regarded by netizens as having stunning features, she’s lampooned celebs such as Katy Perry to rapturous response, confirming just why she’s an essential part of the comedy web show “The Key Of Awesome”. The “Fireworks” parody which has a commanding 13 million+ views is an awesome tribute and would have gotten kudos from Katy herself for its amazing pop culture references. Humor is the key and KELLI cleverly skates on this with such an entertaining effect. Reminiscent of a young Elizabeth Hurley, she’ll have us desiring more in a hurry!

KELLI can be seen in several independent films including the slasher “Blood Island” and the disturbing “Cult”. She also made an appearance in Steven Spielberg’s “Minority Report” as well as “You’ve Got Mail” featuring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. While we love to see her on the big screen in the near future, her accomplishments on the net will live long in our memories as she represents many degrees of Awesome!
